NCT01354652

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether entecavir treatment increases the incidence of lactic acidosis compared to another nucleoside/nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTI), lamivudine, and/or no NRTI treatment, in patients with cirrhosis or hepatic failure whose Model for End stage Liver Disease (MELD) scores are over 18.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Incidence of Elevated Venous Lactate Levels More Than 2 mmol/L of Any Etiology

    incidence of elevated venous lactate levels more than 2 mmol/L of any etiology until development of lactic acidosis, orthotropic liver transplantation (OLT), death, or improvement of hepatic or renal function to MELD score less than 18 and and participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 8 weeks.

    participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 8 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • Incidence of Elevated Venous Lactate Levels More Than 2 mmol/L Directly Related to NRTI

    Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 8 weeks

  • Incidence of Elevated Venous Lactate Levels More Than 2 mmol/L Caused by Etiologies Other Than NTRIs

    Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 8 weeks

  • Frequency of Concomitant Prescribed Medications Possibly Associated With Lactic Acidosis Other Than NTRIs

    Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 8 weeks

  • Arterial pH and Anion Gap in Cases With Elevated Blood Lactate Levels (at the Time of Detection and Peak Levels

    Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 8 weeks

  • Overall OLT-free Survival

    Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay or outpatients visit, an expected average of 12 months

Study Arms (3)

entecavir

EXPERIMENTAL

Oral 0.5mg/day until development of lactic acidosis, OLT, death, or improvement of hepatic or renal function to MELD score less than 18. Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 8 weeks.

Drug: entecavir, lamivudine

lamivudine

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Oral 100mg/day lamivudine until development of lactic acidosis, OLT, death, or improvement of hepatic or renal function to MELD score less than 18. Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 8 weeks.

Drug: entecavir, lamivudine

no NRTI group

NO INTERVENTION

hepatitis C virus associated LC patients for the calculation of lactic acidosis incidence

Interventions

entecavir: 0.5mg/day p.o until development of lactic acidosis, OLT, death, or improvement of hepatic or renal function to MELD score less than 18 and participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 8 weeks. lamivudine: 100mg/day p.o until development of lactic acidosis, OLT, death, or improvement of hepatic or renal function to MELD score less than 18 and and participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 8 weeks.
